SPORTMANSHIP  IN  BUSINESS  AND  PUBLIC  LIFE. 

By  Col.   Albert   T.   Perkins. 

In  thinking  over  what  message  I  might  bring  to  you  from  the 
experiences  of  a  rather  active  career,  two  factors  in  making  a  success- 
ful life  came  into  my  mind — loyalty  and  sportsmanship.  I  decided 
to  talk  to  you  about  sportmanskip. 

Perhaps  you  have  been  used  to  thinking  of  sportsmanship  as 
the  spirit  of  fair  play  in  sports  or  games.  But  sports  and  games  have 
all  developed  as  imitations  of  or  idealizations  of  phases  of  serious 
life.  The  latter  is  true  too  of  all  of  our  intellectual  pleasures — the 
drama,  music,  art. 

You  and  I  have  played  various  games.  These  games  in  their 
present  form  are  the  result  of  centuries  of  development.  Some  of 
you  have  been  hunters  and  yon  have  in  your  mind  the  distinction 
between  the  sportsman  hunter  and  the  pol  hunter. 

You  have  been  playing  your  games  as  amateurs.  Now  you 
are  going  to  play  a  bigger  game  as  professionals.  The  difference 
between  an  amateur  and  a  professional  is  not  one  of  sportsmanship. 
The  idea  of  the  professional  is  connected  up  with  the  necessity  of 
earning  one's  food  and  clot  las. 

Dr.  Spaeth-- a  line  type  of  sportsman  and  a  rare  combination  of 
coach  of  the  rowing  crews  and  Professor  of  English  Literature  at 
Princeton-  was  saying  the  other  day  (as  I  remember  it)  "don't  go 
into  a  game  you  can't  afford  to  lose;  but  when  you  are  in  the  game 
play  it  as  if  you  couldn't   possibly  afford  to  lose  il." 

Well,  that  is  sound  from  the  point  of  view  of  a  game  as  play. 
But  what  you  are  coming  to  now  is,  in  baseball  language,  a  long 
"series"  and  it  will  be  the  "series"  which  you  can't  afford  to  lose, 
and  must  n't  lose. 

A  young  athlete  wrote  to  Major  Henry  Lee  Iligginson  after 
'  •'<'  hitler's  inspiring  address  in  dedicating  Soldier'.-  Field  in  .June 
1890  "It  matters  but  little  the  week  after,  whether  a  boat  race  or 
a  football  match  be  won  or  lost;  hut  let  a  man  or  a  team  do  but  a 
single  thing  which  is  not  entirely  manly  and  aboveboard,  and  it  sets 
them  back  in  the  real  race  perhaps  for  years."

So  as  you  come  to  the  commencement  of  the  real  race  I  made  my 
subject  "Sportsmanship  in  Business  and  Public  Life.'" 

The  old  adage  that  "All's  fair  in  love  and  war"  is  a  relic  of  the 
savage  state.  Treachery  is  something  we  at  once  attribute  to  the 
savage  or  to  those  in  whom  the  instincts  of  the  savage  predominate. 

Sportsmanship — fair  play — is  entirely  a  product  of  civilization, 
frequently  being  reverted  from  here  and  there  but  always  in  the 
long  run  spreading  and  growing  in  intensity.  Doubtless  it  influenced 
war  before  it  did  business  or  civil  administration.  In  the  times 
of  those  famous  sportsman  warriors,  The  Cid  Rodrigo  de  Bivar, 
Richard  Coeur  de  Lion,  and  the  Chevalier  Bayard,  it  went  by  the 
name  of  "Honour." 

You  don't  expect  to  take  part  in  a  war.  Neither  did  I  when  I 
graduated  from  college.  But  before  I  pass  to  civil  business,  let  me 
quote  you  one  passage  from  a  sportsman  soldier. 

The  French  General,  Baron  de  Marbot,  describing  in  his  Memoires 
the  trick  played  by  Marshals  Lannes  and  Murat  on  the  Austrian 
General,  d'Auersperg,  in  getting  hold  of  the  Spitz  bridge  over  the 
Danube  before  the  battles  of  d'Essling  and  Wagram  in  1905  (which 
he  estimated  would  otherwise  have  cost  30,000  men)  says  (my  apolo- 
gies to  him  for  my  translation):  "But  was  the  stratagem  of  which 
they  made  use  admissible?  I  don't  think  so.  I  know  that  in  wars 
between  state  and  state  one  stretches  his  conscience  under  pretext 
that  everything  which  assures  victory  may  be  employed  in  order 
to  diminish  the  losses  of  men,  all  in  giving  great  advantage  to  one's 
country.  Still,  in  spite  of  these  serious  considerations,  I  don't  think 
one  ought  to  approve  the  means  employed  to  seize  the  Spitz  bridge; 
as  for  me  I  would  not  do  it  in  like  circumstances." 

The  Sportsman  in  Business — the  man  of  square  dealing,  of  fair 
play,  who  has  the  coolness  to  meet  imperturbed  all  emergencies! 
It  seems  to  me  a  most  fundamental  requirement  is  a  thoroughly  clear 
realization  that  no  valid  excuse  exists  for  a  departure  from  one's 
own  ideals  and  rules  of  conduct,  in  the  knowledge  or  belief  that 
the  other  fellow  is  doing  it.  That  is  something  where  one  is  often 
getting  into  a  fog — a  mist  which  arises  around  one's  relations  to  his 
employes,  to  the  public,  to  his  business  competitors,  and  to  the 
government. 

You  may  be  engaged  in  what  might  be  called  independent  pro- 
fessional work,  or  in  the  employ  of  what  are  called  private  corpora- 
tions, or  in  the  employ  of  public  utilities.  But  in  the  past  thirty- 
five  years  our  Government  (National  and  State)  has  been  establishing 
an  increasing  control  over  all  business  and  professional  activities. 
It  has  been  making  rules  by  which  the  business  game  is  to  be  played. 
Many  experiments  have  been  tried  and  many  errors  made,  just  as  in 
the  development  of  the  football  or  baseball  rules. 

Yet  there  has  been  undoubted  advance  in  the  soundness  and 
fairness  of  rules  made  by  the  government;  though  the  peculiarity  of 


SPORTSMANSHIP  IN  BUSINESS  AND  PUBLIC  LIFE      5 

this  situation  is  that  as  a  whole,  government  in  respect  to  fair  play 
has  followed  instead  of  leading. 

One  might  naturally  expect  that  Government  would  set  a  good 
example  of  fairness  in  business  dealings;  but  unfortunately  many  of 
those  handling  business  affairs  of  governmental  departments  have 
not  been  brought  up  in  principles  of  business  sportsmanship  and 
their  transactions  (not  for  personal  gain,  but  for  their  departments) 
have  often  been  of  a  character  abhorrent  to  the  majority  of  business 
men. 

There  seems  to  be  some  reaction  in  that  respect,  for  business 
men  of  character  and  experience  are  gradually  taking  more  part  in 
governmental  affairs. 

Now  the  Government  has  to  come  in  as  a  rule  maker  in  business 
and  public  utility  affairs  because  the  minority  would  not  otherwise 
play  fairly,  and  the  rules  had  perhaps  to  weigh  heavily  both  on  the 
fair  and  unfair  players. 

It  is  35  years  since  the  Interstate  Commerce  Law  was  passed. 
In  its  early  days  that  was  broken  in  all  directions.  It  took  years,  with 
the  addition  of  many  modifications  and  penalties,  to  make  its  rules 
thoroughly  effective.  The  explanation  of  its  violation  in  any  case 
was  almost  always  that  it  was  to  meet  the  violation  by  somebody  else. 

Since  then  we  have  had  a  series  of  regulatory  laws  affecting  almost 
all  classes  of  business;  and  there  is  a  great  advance  in  the  willingness 
and  the  desire  to  obey  them. 

Within  this  period  there  has  been  another  marked  advance  from 
a  widespread  feeling  among  business  men  that  municipal  legislators 
were  for  sale  and  had  to  be  purchased  even  in  matters  of  much  con- 
cern to  the  public.  The  business  men  who  lead  have  become  too 
good  sportsmen  nowadays  to  fall  into  that  sort  of  thing  or  to  tolerate 
it  on  the  part  of  others. 

One  often  hears  the  statement  that  railroads  and  public  utilities 
and  other  large  business  corporations  have  brought  their  troubles 
on  themselves,  coupled  sometimes  with  expressions  of  sympathy, 
now  that  they  are  trying  to  do  better.  But  has  it  not  been  thai  the 
rules  were  in  the  making  and  loose  and  not  enforced  by  competent 
umpires  and  referees;  and  that  those  who  have  worked  as  sportsmen 
have  frequently  been  upset  by  blows  below  the  belt?  And  the  public 
did  not  and  could  not  understand  all  the  rules. 

The  public  is  always  calling  for  moro  and  better  service  from 
its  utilities  and  properly  so.  It  wants  it  too  as  cheaply  as  it  can  get 
it.  Bui  the  public  does  not  and  cannot  generally  understand  all  the 
conditions  underlying  the  production  of  such  utilities  and  the  cost 
of  their  operation. 

On  the  other  hand  the  managers  of  most  utilities  are  nowadays 
doing  their  utmost  to  give  the  public  the  best  service  to  which  their 
means  will  stretch. 

It  seems  to  me  that  one  of  the  greatest  advances  in  the  matter 


6  MISSOURI  SCHOOL  OF  MINES 

of  fair  play  has  of  late  years  come  as  in  our  state,  in  the  transferring 
of  the  control  and  regulation  of  public  utilities  from  municipalities 
with  their  political  turmoil  and  changing  policies  to  a  state  commis- 
sion where,  whatever  its  defects,  codes  of  principles  and  rules  may  be 
developed  and  the  rights  of  both  the  served  and  the  servers  calmly 
considered. 

You  still  hear  and  read  statements  that  rates  charged  by  public 
utilities  are  high  because  the  utility  companies  are  over-capitalized, 
i.  e.  have  so-called  "watered  stocks." 

Those  statements  are  based  on  an  entirely  wrong  impression  of 
the  present  situation. 

Formerly  these  public  utility  rates  were  fixed  by  local  franchises 
— as  75  cents  for  gas  or  5  cents  for  street  car  service.  Whatever 
may  have  been  the  effect  on  confiding  investors,  it  then  made  no 
material  difference  to  the  public  served  whether  the  capitalization 
of  the  serving  company  were  fifty  million  dollars  or  one  hundred 
million  dollars  or  one  hundred  and  fifty  millions,  until  such  time  as 
the  public  began  to  demand  more '  and  better  service  than  could 
be  produced  for  those  fixed  franchise  rates. 

Now  that  is  just  what  the  public  began  demanding.  The  old 
franchise  rates  ceased  to  meet  the  requirements,  but  with  their  cast- 
ing aside,  went  also  any  right  to  a  new  basis  of  rates  in  excess  of  what 
should  produce  a  fair  rate  of  return  on  a  fair  valuation  of  the  serving 
property,  irrespective  of  what  its  former  capitalization  may  have 
been — rates  sufficient  and  only  sufficient  to  pay  the  cost  of  producing 
the  quantity  and  quality  of  service  demanded  by  the  public  served. 

This  producing  cost — wages,  materials,  taxes,  and  a  fair  return 
on  a  fair  valuation  of  the  serving  property — the  last  and  in  the  long 
run  the  first  of  these  factors  in  the  hands  of  a  state  commission  repre- 
senting the  people  but  removed  from  local  influences  and  prejudices 
and  subject  only  to  review  by  the  courts.  The  factor  of  taxes  remains 
in  no  small  degree  in  the  hands  of  the  local  communities  themselves. 
This  matter  of  valuation  of  existing  properties  has  features  of 
great  complexities  and  requires  the  exercise  of  the  highest  degree  of 
wisdom,  judgment,  and  the  spirit  of  fair  play  on  the  part  of  the  com- 
missioners; for  the  valuation  now  is  for  fair  rate-making  purposes. 
It  is  the  duty  of  the  Commission  under  the  law  to  make  fair  valua- 
tions— not  unduly  low,  not  unduly  high.  As  time  goes  on  this  task 
will  be  simpler,  for  all  issuance  of  new  securities  for  additional  capital 
investment  in  public  utilities  is  now  under  control  of  the  Commission. 
Now  I  have  said  that  in  the  long  run  the  first  factor — wages — 
is  also  really  under  control  of  the  commission,  and  here  it  seems  to 
me,  our  spirit  of  fair  play  should  in  the  highest  degree  come  into 
action.  This  factor  usually  represents  half  or  more  of  the  rates 
charged  the  public.  With  the  cost  of  material  fixed  from  time  to 
time  by  market  conditions  which  Commissions  cannot  at  least  as  yet 
control,  with  the  valuation  or  new  capitalization  and  rate  of  return 


SPORTSMANSHIP  IN  BUSINESS  AND  PUBLIC  LIFE       7 

fixed  by  the  commission,  and  the  taxes  fixed  by  government  authori- 
ties, the  public  may  know  what  it  is  paying  for,  and  the  actual  rates 
of  charge  for  service  must  depend  primarily  on  the  rates  of  wages 
(the  degree  of  efficiency  being  taken  fully  into  account) ;  or  vice  versa 
the  rates  of  wages  must  depend  on  the  charge  the  utility  is  permitted 
to  make  for  service. 

So  here  we  have  the  most  serious  of  all  problems — the  balance 
of  the  rates  of  wages  for  the  various  classes  of  employes  serving  the 
public,  as  between  those  receiving  the  wages  and  the  public  who  pay 
them. 

In  a  way  there  is  a  satisfaction  in  this  situation  as  it  now  exists. 
It  brings  out  clearly  that  if  they  play  fairly  the  employes  of  a  public 
utility  must  give  the  very  best  service  they  are  capable  of  to  the 
public,  and  the  public  through  their  representatives  must  in  return 
provide  for  the  payment  of  an  adequate  and   even  liberal  reward. 

You  are  going  into  business  at  a  time  when  an  uncomfortable 
process  of  readjustment  of  wages  and  prices  is  still  going  on — a  time 
when  there  is  the  greatest  need  on  the  part  of  all  concerned  for  a  spirit 
of  fair  play. 

Everybody  who  works  faithfully  is  justified  in  asking  the  high- 
est reward  he  honorably  and  fairly  can  obtain  for  his  services;  but 
it  is  hard  to  look  at  these  matters  from  an  unprejudiced  point  of  view 
when  one's  own  private  interest  is  involved.  And  present  condi- 
tions are  complicated  by  the  fact  that  in- the  hurry  and  stress  of  war 
conditions  adjustments  of  wages  did  not  come  to  all  crafts  and  occu- 
pations on  an  even  or  proportionate  basis. 

I  find  myself  in  an  interesting  position  at  the  head  of  a  little  army 
of  6,000  public  utility  servants,  with  bad  actors  for  the  most  part 
weeded  out,  and  with  most  of  these  0,000  trying  their  best  to  do  a  good 
job  for  the  public. 

In  the  latter  part  of  1921  we  had,  in  order  to  keep  within  our  re- 
sources, to  make  some  considerable  reductions  in  wages  from  the  high 
peak  established  in  1920.  These  were  made  in  different  degrees  in 
different  crafts,  after  long  but  amicable  conferences  and  discussions 
with  the  committees  of  thoso  involved,  on  scales  which  a  combina- 
tion of  several  circumstances  seemed  to  make  just. 

But  I  am  attacked  by  persons  in  public  life  wishing  to  curry  favor 
with  the  unthinking  sections  of  the  public;  but  knowing  nothing  of  the 
comparative  deserts  or  requirements  or  the  so-called  working  condi- 
tions of  the  employes  involved,  for  not  making  further  and  deeper 
Cuts  in  the  wages  <>f  employes  so  that  already  low  rates  of  fare  charged 
to  the  public  may  be  further  reduced. 

So  I  can't  help  feeling  a  greater  satisfaction  in  being  inaposition 

where   I   am   on   behalf  of  my   men  defending  against    assaull    wage 

scales  which  have  been  adjusted  on  a  fair  basis  and  which  have  been 

approved   by  a  court,  instead  of  lighting  for  the  last  possible  reduction. 

In  no  way  will  you  gain  greater  success  in  the  long  run  than  in 


8  MISSOURI  SCHOOL  OF  MINES 

being  real  sportsmen  in  treatment  of  those  under  your  charge — 
with  fairness,  frankness,  firmness.  Most  men  will  go  a  long  way  to 
meet  you  when  they  think  you  are  square  and  will  respond  to  frank- 
ness. For  example,  we  check  all  our  conductors  every  month.  We 
ell  them  they  are  going  to  be  checked  and  explain  why — so  that  we 
can  know  they  are  all  right  as  the  handlers  of  money.  They  don't 
know  when  they  are  being  checked  but  they  can  always  see  the 
results  afterwards.  They  understand  it  and  no  longer  worry  about 
spotters  spying  on  them.  It  is  all  right  when  they  understand  they 
are  simply  audited  unawares  or  without  knowing  just  when,  just  as  a 
bank  teller  or  a  postoffice  clerk  is. 

Remember  that  it  is  up  to  you  to  set  an  example  of  and  to  teach 
sportsmanship  to  those  who  haven't  had  your  training  and  advantages. 

We  haven't  needed  any  for  a  long  time,  but  we  used  to  have  a 
number  of  so-called  grievance  arbitration  cases.  In  one  of  those 
a  certain  minister  of  the  highest  character  was  agreed  on  by  both 
sides  as  arbitrator.  There  was  really  no  doubt  about  the  guilt  of  the 
man  whose  case  was  in  dispute,  and  the  arbitrator  so  decided.  But 
the  head  of  the  guilty  man's  organization  could  see  only  his  own  side 
— to  protect  one  of  his  constituents;  and  in  mailing  to  the  arbitrator 
a  check  for  his  organization's  half  of  the  fee,  he  enclosed  with  it  a 
note  reading:  "God  help  you  as  a  minister!"  Well  that  showed  bad 
sportsmanship;  but  he  didn't  know  any  better.  Afterwards  this 
labor  leader  learned  better  and  expressed  regret  for  some  things  he 
had  said  and  done. 

So  you  must  have  patience  with  these  things,  continually  watch 
that  your  own  skirts  are  clear,  and  results  will  come. 

The  most  successful  and  most  lasting  results  come  where  the 
dealing  is  square.  That's  where  for  example  the  shining  reputation 
of  the  A.,  T.  &  S.  F.  Ry.  organization  comes  from — the  outstanding 
sportsmanship  (fair  play,  courage,  imperturbability)  of  the  late 
E.  P.  Riley,  impressed  on  his  associates  and  carried  on  down  through 
the  entire  organization. 

So  what  I  preach  to  you  is  to  carry  into  your  business  and  pro- 
fessional and  public  careers  the  spirit  of  sportsmanship  which  has  be- 
come second-nature  to  you  in  your  games.  No  matter  how  foggy 
the  conditions  are,  stick  to  the  rules.  If  you  find  a  rule  is  wrong  try 
to  get  it  changed  in  the  orderly  way. 

Give  the  other  fellow,  especially  anybody  under  you,  all  the 
credit  that  is  coming  to  him.  You  will  probably  get  enough  credit 
and  more  in  the  long  run,  enough  to  balance  all  the  hard  knocks 
and  kicks  and  misrepresentations  which  you  are  also  sure  to  get. 

Last  winter  we  had  a  dinner  at  our  St.  Louis  Harvard  Club  for 
one  of  our  Cambridge  football  coaches,  and  it  did  one's  heart  good  to 
join  in  the  rousing  cheers  given  for  Aldrich,  captain  of  the  Yale  team — 
our  perennial  antagonist,  as  a  fine  sportsman  and  a  clean  player 
"without  reproach."     That  is  the  spirit!
